He (Mr. Dove) desired to test ‘that company. They were extending their roads ‘through the streets here without asking anyques- Mons or paying any taxes. If the company refuse to do what they can well afford to do—reduce the Present exorbitant rates—and should hereafter apply for ae § privileges, the boards would know how to grant them. Mr. Sargent took the same view of the case, and sald beret sare rates on this branch road were un) ntedly ee than on any other road north of Mason and -Dixon’s line, and nearly double what they are on some of the north- ern roads " Mr. Clark gave some of his experience with the road lately, and said the dealers here had asked the company to bulld a little bridge to facilitate matters, which would have cost about $100, and refused to build it, although in bad weather, it such a bridge, it wilt be impossible to b — through a mud there (at Swam, le ey charge $1.60 ton for coal Baltimore to this city. ai Mr. Brown, too, knew something of the liber- ality and magnanimityof the company. In June Yast, the Gas Light magn ead of this city, fearing ‘the navigation of the Potomac might be obstruct- ved, and the canal being broken at that time, made epplication, by the Secretary of War, to the direc- tors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, to know the cost of transporting coal from the Bolton be = to this city. The northern roads knowing it was a military necessity to get coal bere ae eee need cthce parpene, agreed to bring the coal to the Bolton Depot in Baltimore for Lig cents Pac per mile. This Baltimore and Obio Ra’ Company charged four cents r ton pe mile, and - . —oe same time tuat 'y_ wou! insport hard o anthracite, from the Bolton Depot to this city for 60 cents per ton. Sixty cents per ton for hard coal, and $1 60 for soft. This Tate was intended at that time to be probibitory, but they stand committed by offers of Mr Smith, the Master of transportation, to bring anthracite coal to this city for 60 cents perton. In spite of this they charge $1 60 per ton, and would c! e $2 60 if the charter al- Rowed it. The resolution was passed. ‘The nomination of Dr. R. C. gan, for phy- sician, and Otho Boswell for a) ry to the poor in the Seventh Ward, were confirmed viva voce.

Mr. Dove doubted the power of the Corporation & retroactive law to t. Brown thought that the sooner, then, the — ‘was tested by the courts the better. The ration Attorney did not take the same view as the gentleman, and be drew up a rough pencil — Se bill a — t. Magroder said, any one de iting a amount to the credit of the Capentionse tled toa license. He, when mayor, bad refused to reissue licenses to some houses, on account of their disorderly character, or for uther reasons; and the Corporation Attorney said then the par- ties might goon and sell without a license, if they de; the proper sum for it, and could not get it. Mr. Magruder said it was the inalienable right of an American citizen to a trial by jury, and you cannot delegate power to any one individual—the Register the city, for instance—to try these cases. Jf you choose to authorize the Mayor to Soe ts He oe if it can be proved Parties bave done business without a license, pce pol ei Ear ete Sorlg fined, and can the arrears in that way. He (Mr. M.) thought this course was not fuir, aud mo doubt the parties doing business without a license had furnished a quid pro quo, if not te the ——— to its authorized agents. t. Brodhead asked what need for a trial. Did not the Corporation books show, if licenses had been taken out? Mr. Magruder said these books did not show that the perties were doing business here, or had violated any law. Mr. Dove called attention to the phraseology of the act under consideration ‘‘in arrears for licenses heretofore issued.” Mr. Brown said that licenses might be and may have been issued without having been and the Corporation Attorney may have intended jagrucer thought in that case proceedings ought *o be instituted against the late Mayor and Register for money not paid in Mr. Bay! —- it gug bt to be investigated. Mr. Lioyd said that ti proper officers had in- formed bim that in bis ward there were only 70 licensed traders, and that there were 160 or 175 persons ed in trade there for years past without paying license.

He only caught the name of one when the nominations were . Meetti of the School Commi tee (Mr. tleman ——— bim (Mr. Semberia csiry his Constituent the Mr Magruder of one nominee at least. He (Mr. Moore) might have altuded to Mr. Stuart, but did not remember doing so. If he did, it was scarcely a word, as the gentleman knew Mr. Stuart as well as he (Mr. Moore) did, and seven years ago declared his (Mr. Stuart’s) character to him (Mr. Moore.) Mr. Magruder asked what the gentleman meant by saying the first intimation came from him. Mr. Moore said the gentleman first spoke to him ar Mageader poder —Di4 I anything about hi rt. = a) about his unfitness to be School Trustee. = Mr. Moore would not say he did. Mr. Magruder said the gentleman spoke to him a about Mr. Stuart, and said he was all he time in Kloman’s. Mr. Moore (to Mt. Magruder) —I have seen you Mr Magruder acknow! he might have seen him there two or three times. Mr. Moote went on to state what he had said to various members about Mr. Stuart, and what he had not Said, and stated that last Monday pight, when the gentleman from the Seventh Ward (Mr. Lloyd) was defying any one to sustain the charge agafnst Mr. Stuart, he (Mr. Moore) rose and said he saw him go into Kloman’s. He said so now, and could prove it. He (Mr. Moore) had objec- tions against Mr. Stuart apart from that, and thought he was unsuitable, and would vote against him. He (Mr. Moore) did not recollect saying to the gentleman from the First Ward what that geatheman says be said. The conversation was about another person. Mr. Lioyd explained that what he said last Monday night was that he defied any gentleman to ry on against the character of Mr. Stuart, and he said so now. The gentleman (Mr. Moore) confesses that he himself went into Kloman’s Mr Moore said he did not say so, though he pdnorlang teported. He sent there for oysters for his imily. Mr. Lloyd understood him to say he went there. He (Mr. L. ) thought it no great matter for a gen- tleman to get a plate of oysters and a glass of ale. Even ifhe approached sanct:fication a plate of Lynnhaven oysters and a good glass of aleto wash it down would be ne great crime. Mr. Moore said some lunched there, others loafed there. He drew the distinction. He said the police officers were not allowed to enter a drinking house, and he asked if a higher stand- ard was required for police officers than school trustees. Mr. Lioyd was surprised the gentleman was so rigid in this particular case, bot voted viva voce for others who also take their oysters and ale. After further discussion the nomination was confirmed by a vote of 12 te 1. Bills for relief of A.J.

Raub, member from the Second Ward, whose election is contested by Grafton Powell, was made the special order for Monday next. Mr. Turton moved that the report be printed. Mr. Edmonston moved to amend, by adding the accompanying papers Upon this some discussion ensued. Mr. Edmonston said he wanted to have the opinion of Mr. Carlisle upon the legality of cer- tain votes to be printed, and let itall go to the Poe t. Emerson spoke of an opinion given ver- bally by Mr. Carlise to the committee, and the written one which be gave after, when called upon to givein writing, as different Mr. Edmonston replied with a declaration that the case had not been fairly represented to Mr. Carlisle when he first decided upon it. Mr. Shepherd here was about to reply, but Mr. Edmonston ing he would not be Taterrapt. ed, the President called Mr. Shepherd to order Jj Mr. Edmonston again intimated that the case was not fairly represented to Mr. Carlisle at first, that ‘the committee skulked, sir! as they have done on several occastons before, sir! But when the case was represented fairly, he gave his writ- ten opinion in the face of that report.’ Mr. E spoke of the report as ‘‘garbled,”’ and declared he wanted it printed with all the papers, no mat- ter what it cost. Mr. Shepherd replied. He allowed no one to asperse him asa member of the committee, and any one who said the case was not fairly present- ed to Mr. Carlisle “stated what is false! It is false!” Mr. Edmonston was rising to reply, when Mr. Shepherd, speaking in a very loud tone, said he would not be interru, |, and told Mr E. to take hisseat. Mr.E_ replied that he would not, and Mr. 8. could not make bim, nor (we understood him to say) ‘‘the President efther ’? The rappin; of the President’s hammer, his calls to order, and threats to call upon the officers, with the bellige- rent attitudes of the two gentlemen, who were talking at the same time and looking daggers at each other, made the scene rather lively, but order was finally restored without a collision, and Mr. Shepherd concluded his remarks, defending every member of the committee from the charge of unfairness. Mr. Wilson moved to lay the motion to print on the table; passed —yeas 14, nays 5; and the Board adjourned. Foatuer Heanino —Yeaterday morning,Henry Johnson, alias Tompkins, alias Garnett, a colored man, who was arrested last Friday for the larceny of certain wines and other liquors from M.

There were loud calls for a +h from hit, but they did not have the effect to bring him out. 8 were made by Secretaries Seward and Cameron, and by Gen. Blenker, however, which were received with the wildest enthusi- asm by the vast multitude present. Fireworks were displayed at the President’s house and jn front of the residence of the Secre- tary of War, which for brilliancy and richness were ual, if not superior, to any exhibi- tion of the kind ever given in this ci The rockets easy. attracted great attentfon, dis- payne in bursting the national colors—red, white and blue. But the finest part of the pyrotechnic display was that in Lafayette Square, in front of Gen. McClellan’s residence, and the magnificent piece representing the figure of ‘ Justice,” with he national coat of arms and eagle above, won genera] admiration. The effect of these brilliant lights above, and the waving sea of torches beneath, in contrast with the pale moonlight which silvered distant objects, made up a fairy scene which will linger in the memory of all fortunate enough to witness it. The fireworks were manufactured by Messrs. J.G. & I. Edge, pyrotechnists at Jersey City, N. 32 and reflected great credit on their skill and te. After this display was over, the military por- tion of the assemb! marched to their quar- ten exer the Long Bridge, still lighted by their torches.

AN INTERESTING OCCASION. This forenoon fifteen leading merchants of Bal- timore came hither to represent to the Govern- ment the policy of according as much employ- ment as possible to the mechanics oMtheir city. Their errand 1s, indeed, a laudable one. Nine- tenths of the real working mechanics—though not of the shysters and loafers among them—ere heartily for the Union cause. Phey have suffered most in the business circumstances ing out of the present anomalous condition of that eity, and, indeed, the whole State of Maryland.

Four started up, and came abreast of the Confederate batteries about 10 o’clock a. m., when fire was opened upon them. One of them was “afraid to face the music,” and turned back, but the other three sailed slowly up through the swash channel ; and, although forty- three rounds were fired at them, not one wes struck Most of the shells fired were apparently from rified guns, and went whizzing over the vessels to the Maryland sbore. Tbe sbrill whist- ling of the shells could be plainly beardon the Cour de Lion, which was at Matawoman Creek. Prof. Lowe returned in the Coeur de Lion, but will probably go down again to-day. 2+ 2 LATEST NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. aaeeenn FROM FORTRESS MONROE. ——aipeaeei FURTHER NEWS FROM THE FLEET. i ~ CHARLESTON REPORTED TO BE TAKEN. ee A DESPERATE STRUGGLE AT BEAU- FORT. noel ae GREAT EXCITEMENT AT NORFOLK. —aieasers Batrimore, Nov. 12—The Old Point boat brings the following dispatch from Fortress Mon- roe, dated yesterday : “« No intelligence yet from the fieet.”” “The tiag of truce brought down the crew of the French corvette Proney, which was wrecked last Tuesday night near Ocracoke Inlet, North Carolina.
